 Looking for Web/MIME solution or help creating one So here's the deal: I use outlook express because I like it. I know that it is a simple MAPI
application. i would like to be able to have a webserver running on my
system (which I can do and know how to setup) which, when I go to it, will
bring up a page to display all of the mail that is in my inbox. i could
then click on the emails to read them. i dont even care about sending right
now. Note that I dont want it to go checkj my POP mail box, because then I
cant see mail I have already read. ideally, I would be able to switch the
current folder, but at first thats uncecesary.
Now, I would think this has already been designed...if so, please let me
knwo where I could find this. Note that I dont want this for an enterprise
situation, only my person home computer, so nothinbg thats $3995 :-)
If its not in existence, what would you all think about doing it this way:
Using an ASP script to invoke the ASP component "ASPExec" to invoke a WSH
script which would access my mail through the MAPI layer of windows (I run
Win2K if that makes a difference). Now, I can do everything but access MAPI
through WSH...anyone know of a component that will do this for me (with
documentation, plz?) or know enough about the MAPI intereface to either give
some hints or point me to a good resource? Note again that I dont want it
to go checkj my POP mail box, because then I cant see mail I have already
read. ideally, I would be able to switch the current folder, but at first
thats uncecesary. I do have some prgramming experience, and reasonable
(though by no means extensive) knowledge of VB....as well as good knowledge
of HTML (though I dont actually HAVE VB right now, but I can buy for $30 w/
a student discount).
Lastly, anyone wanna help me?

Looking for Web/MIME solution or help creating one Ooops, maybe I should get my acronyms right, the subject on the messahe should have read MAPI instead of MIME --

Looking for Web/MIME solution or help creating one That's a "no can do" for Outlook Express... There's no scriptable OE object model and the OE message store format is proprietary and not publicly documented. --

Looking for Web/MIME solution or help creating one In Outlook 2000/98/97 and also Outlook Express, you can defines views of your inbox. Why not just define a view for only unread messages? That's what I do... OE already has one called "Hide Read Messages". --

Looking for Web/MIME solution or help creating one You missed the point. Thepoint is I want to be able to read my old emails from any webbrowser: Quote: >I use outlook express because I like it. I know that it is a simple MAPI

Now I understand i cant use OE to do this - but I can use outlook, right? --
